Let $X$ be a non-negative random variable and let the conditional distribution of a random variable $Y$, given $X$, be ${Poisson}(\gamma \cdot X)$, for a parameter $\gamma \geq 0$. We identify a natural loss function such that: 1) The…
A notion of directed information between two continuous-time processes is proposed. A key component in the definition is taking an infimum over all possible partitions of the time interval, which plays a role no less significant than the…

I present several new relations between mutual information (MI) and statistical estimation error for a system that can be regarded simultaneously as a communication channel and as an estimator of an input parameter. I first derive a…

The mutual information (MI) of Poisson-type channels has been linked to a filtering problem since the 70s, but its evaluation for specific continuous-time, discrete-state systems remains a demanding task. As an advantage, Markov renewal…

The I-MMSE formula connects two important quantities in information theory and estimation theory: the mutual information and the minimum mean-squared error (MMSE). It states that in a scalar Gaussian channel, the derivative of the mutual…
